The settings in the controller match the local conditions. Note! When any factory-set values of the device are changed, you must enter this information in the Maintenance certificate, see chapter 10.3 "Maintenance certificate "...
This action is a prerequisite for the making of warranty claims. – Have the Reflex Customer Service carry out commissioning and the annual maintenance. Checking the requirements for commissioning The device will be ready for commissioning when the tasks described in the "Installation" chapter have been completed.
Commissioning Filling the device with water Use the system to fill water into the device. Open the "CD" 3-ways motor ball valve to the system. Start turning the "PU" vacuum pump at the fan wheel using a screw driver. CAUTION – Injuries caused by pump start-up. Hand injury due to a pump start.
Commissioning Modifying the controller's start routine The start routine enables the setting of the essential parameters required for the device's commissioning. It commences with the first activation of the controller and can be run only once. Parameters can be changed or checked in the customer after the start routine has terminated see chapter 9.5 "Parametrising the controller in the Customer menu"...
Commissioning Starting Automatic mode Automatic mode can be started as soon as the system is filled with water and the gases contained have been vented. • Press "Auto" on the controller's operator panel. During commissioning, continuous degassing is automatically activated to remove any residual free or dissolved gases from the system. This time can be set in the Customer menu as required by the system conditions.
Operation Operation Operating modes 8.1.1 Automatic mode Upon successful commissioning, you can activate the automatic mode with the degassing functions and, optionally, the automatic make-up. The device controller monitors the functions. Faults are displayed and evaluated. For automatic mode, you can set three different degassing programmes in the Customer menu, see chapter 9.5 "Parametrising the controller in the Customer menu"...
Operation 8.1.2 Manual mode The manual mode is intended for test and service tasks. Press "Manual" at the controller. The Auto LED at the operator panel flashes to visually indicate that manual mode is active. In manual mode, you manually switch the "PU" vacuum pump and the "CD" 3-ways motor ball valve. Both can be switched after each other and tested at the same time.
Operation 8.1.4 Summer operation The degassing of the network water is not assured if the circulating pumps of the system are shut down during Summer because gas-rich water cannot reach the device. In order to save energy, use the Customer menu to set the degassing programme to make-up degassing. If the device is operated with make-up degassing during Summer, you must switch to interval or continuous degassing after the circulating pumps have been activated.
